We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Lindaunis in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
- The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.
